11th Cytokines and Inflammation
GTC's 11th Cytokines and Inflammation Conference, one of four parallel tracks of the Novel Immunotherapeutics Summit on January 31 - February 1, 2013 in San Diego, CA, promotes a dynamic exchange of cutting edge developments in the field. Featuring a wonderful balance of presentations from academia, government and industry, the role of cytokines in health and disease and therapeutic applications will be discussed. Encompassed will be many cytokine families, chemokines and alarmins, and their roles in disease, ranging infectious disease, cancer, and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases including lupus, pulmonary fibrosis, metabolic and neuromuscular diseases.
Focused topics include developments in the therapeutic application of cytokines and proposal of new targets, the complex relationship between the immune system and microbes in the homeostasis of mucosal tissues, new findings in the biology and regulation of IL-23 and IL-17, novel means to modulate immune pathways to promote anti-tumor activity, lessons learned from genetic manipulation, and cutting edge understanding in the field of signaling.
The GTC Cytokines and Inflammation conferences have become an established meeting point for academic scientists and industry clinical developers to exchange their complementary approaches in the field of cytokine biology. As usual, poster sessions and opportunities for networking will complement the great roster of distinguished speakers. The organizations participating are a great selection of innovative medical organizations from academia (City of Hope, NCI, NIH, USC, Sanford-Burnham, Cleveland Clinic, UCLA, University of Florida, etc.), industry (Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Genentech, HUMIGEN, MedImmune, Biogen Idec, Merck Serono, Novo Nordisk, etc.) and, last but not -by any means- least, the US FDA.
Sessions for the conference are:
Therapeutic Applications of Cytokines and Chemokines
Mucosal Homeostasis and Inflammation
Cytokines and Metabolism
Cytokines in Health and Disease
Cytokine Regulation
